Meh...I take that back... Looking at some other angles of the Tipo 33, I STILL like the Ferrari 330 P4 better. Sorry Mr. Scaglione.

Tribute Edition or not, still a breathtakingly gorgeous and sensual car. Anyone lucky enough to drive one has my sincere envy.

Yep. I stand corrected. Shoulda looked at the picture more closely.Quote:

EDIT: It IS a tribute vehicle.... The 4 million dollar P4/P5.
There is only one real P4.Quote:

I'll just wait right here till those prices come down a bit to my level. :D
I was literally shopping cars yesterday, and a guy did not take my offer of 470. I imagine I will hear back from him today.
I understand the reason for the 911R, I just don't agree with it. Sure, a row-your-own is great, but the PDK is so damn good now, I don't see the need for a three pedal if you want to be fast. So for the GT3 to have a manual doesn't make that much sense as it's meant to be a track car. The P Car purists will likely change their tune when the other dentists, doctors and hedge fund managers start passing them in their flappy-paddle gear boxed cars.
Disclaimer: I own a P Car with three pedals.
All the 9A1 GT cars should fall given that new GT motors will be RSR derived blocks designed towards durability. I can't believe why anyone would pay over msrp for an RS that's gonna need 4 engines to get to 100k.Quote:

I know. But if you're a hack on the track, eliminating blip-shifting and all that goes with it can help make you faster, or so it would seem with a flappy-paddle gear box. Kind of like of like 'lectircs in motorbikes; get the riders going faster with the help of technology.Quote:

Don't give a shit about lap times, top speed, etc... Just give me a tight car with a nice pedal set up, firm brakes, light throttle, and good 2-3-4 ratios (and no radiator) and I'm all set...Quote:

GT4 RS is going to be a bad muther.

Porsche thought the same thing too, and then 911R sold for over double MSRP.Quote:

R could be reintroduced as more of a purist trim, for all the cars.
I'm confused, then. I thought the GT3 was to have a manual. Did I mis-read that?Quote:

I see the GT3 as more of an enthusiasts 911, and the GT3 RS as their track monster variant.
I've been foolishly looking at a 911 for my mid-life crisis, and have been stuck on the GTS.
Beautiful wide body, a little extra juice.
Wouldn't that be double dipping or a bit of over lap with the 911R?Quote:

So you're the guy who would kick Cindy Crawford to the curb for her mole, huh?
That's the only quick way I can tell a Singer and a nice vintage original apart.Quote:
